Two empty shop windows in the town centre, a disused seafront shelter and a brand new open air art gallery on the beach, are among several spaces that will feature in an outdoor art gallery photography trail in Worthing this Autumn.
The exhibitions, which are being coordinated by Worthing's creative hub, Colonnade House, are part of two photography festivals - Photoworks and Photo Fringe 2020 - which have received funding from and been provided with exhibition space by Worthing Borough Council.
Photoworks, which will be showcasing the work of internationally renowned photographers in two empty shop fronts in Montague Street and Montague Quarter, runs for one month from Thursday 24th September. Photo Fringe 2020, which runs from 3rd to 31st October, will be exhibiting the work of a range of artists in several locations across Worthing and Brighton.
An exciting addition to Worthing's expanding art space will be an open air art gallery which is being installed on the beach in time for Photo Fringe between the Lido and West Buildings shelter. It is being made from stone-filled gabions and will have an accessible walkway for visitors to be able to view all sides of the gallery.
The West Buildings seafront shelter will continue to be used as creative exhibition space this Autumn and will showcase the work of local artist Barry Falk, who, through his photography, shares an insight into Worthing residents' lives during the COVID pandemic. Falk is also a member of photography collective Map6 whose exhibition 'The Happiness Project' will be on display at Colonnade House.
